Vibrations control

Vibrations can be annoying for us human beings. Powerful vibrations can even be harmful for our health. They can also cause damage to buildings and installations and they can disturb sensitive equipment. Vibrations can be transmitted as sound through buildings and constructions and they can be unpleasantly audible as well as sensible at a considerable distance from the source. The condition of some machines can be measured by their vibration emission. In those cases, the machines can be maintained by monitoring the vibration emission ("engine condition monitoring").

How we contribute

Peutz has specialists who have a thorough command of the field of vibration technology. We can give advice for all kinds of vibration problems, based on accurate measurements and our expertise in this field. Peutz uses state-of-the-art measuring and computational equipment, together with dynamic modelling with a finite element method.

Vibrations measurements, reduction and monitoring

Vibrations in the ground/soil, in buildings, ships, offshore installations, machines, in short anywhere, can be measured. Using measurements and dynamic models, we can assess problems and make forecasts for alternative situations.

Adequate vibration reducing measures and provisions can be used to prevent damage to buildings and machines. Examples of these are improving the dynamic strength of constructions, adapting the foundations of the machines and using vibration dampers to render the machines vibrationless.
